10 Amazing Films That Get Better The More You Think About Them
4. I'm Thinking Of Ending Things
I'm Thinking of Ending Things will have you thinking of a lot of things long after the movie is over.
While on a road trip to her boyfriend's parent's house, a young woman begins to feel that something isn't quite right, a feeling that slowly starts to manifest itself in ways that neither she, nor the viewer, could possibly see coming.
The absolute best way to describe this film would be to label it as a cinematic Rorschach test. Much like the book, what you take away from it is a reflection of you, your relationships, and your worldview. As you contemplate exactly wtf you just watched, you will find yourself sinking deeper into the recesses of your own psyche.
Ambiguity is hit or miss in cinema, with I'm Thinking of Endings Things being an example of the former. It manages to weaponize its cryptic nature as a way to force its audience to ask questions about themselves they'd probably rather left unanswered. While other movies have tried to do the same, few have done it with such brutal effectiveness as this one.
